Phylogenetic relationships may underlie species-specific phenological sensitivities to abiotic variation and may help to predict these responses to climate change. Although shared evolutionary history may mediate both phenology and phenological sensitivity to abiotic variation, few studies have expl

Climate change is expected to alter patterns of species co-occurrence, in both space and time. Species-specific shifts in reproductive phenology may alter the assemblages of plant species in flower at any given time during the growing season. Temporal overlap in the flowering periods (co-flowering)

Although shared evolutionary history may mediate both phenology and phenological sensitivity to abiotic variation, few studies have expl

Soil respiration (the flux of CO2 from the soil surface) is one of the largest and most variable fluxes in the global carbon cycle, and yet also one of the least understood, primarily due to methodological difficulties. These are (1) measuring soil respiration at high temporal frequencies and (2) at

Climate change is shifting the environmental cues that determine the phenology of interacting species. Plant-pollinator systems may be susceptible to temporal mismatch if bees and flowering plants differ in their phenological responses to warming temperatures. While the cues that trigger flowering a

Climate change has induced pronounced shifts in the reproductive phenology of plants, yet we know little about which environmental factors contribute to interspecific variation in responses and their effects on fitness. We integrate data from a 43-year record of first flowering for six species in su

Harsh abiotic conditions such as low temperatures that lead to spring and summer frost events in high-elevation and high-latitude ecosystems can have strong negative consequences for plant growth, survival, and reproduction. Despite the predicted increase in episodic frost events under continued cli

Anthropogenic climate change has already altered the timing of major life history transitions, such as the initiation of reproduction. Both phenotypic plasticity and adaptive evolution can underlie rapid phenological shifts in response to climate change but their relative contributions are poorly un

The data package consolidates water year 2016 stream, rain, snow and groundwater data used by Carroll et al. (2018) for end-member mixing analysis to isolate seasonal stream source within the East River, CO. Stream concentration and daily discharge are provided for the 11 sub-basins of the East Rive

White feldspar clay was placed along 24 transects defining a ~9-km long study reach along the meandering snowmelt-dominated East River in Colorado, USA. Feldspar markers horizons were placed in the fall of 2015 and 2016 along transects with the space between them increasing with distance from the ch

This data package contains sample collection metadata for soil cores from the East River Watershed in Colorado used in biogeochemical analyses by the Watershed Function SFA. Soil cores were collected seasonally during autumn, winter, snowmelt, and spring at a predominately montane meadow, high altit

This data set contains soil measurements made at the Pumphouse Hillslope to Floodplain transect at the locations of the early snowmelt-timing manipulation experiments in the East River Watershed in Colorado, USA. The data were collected in 2016 and 2017 to determine soil microbial responses to snow

The purpose of this dataset was to sample surface water and groundwater geochemistry at random locations in the East River, Colorado to provide a broad spatial dataset of geochemistry. The East River is part of the Watershed Function Scientific Focus Area (WFSFA) located in the Upper Colorado River

This data package contains mean values for total dissolved nitrogen (TDN) and ammonia concentrations for water samples taken from the East River Watershed in Colorado. The East River is part of the Watershed Function Scientific Focus Area (WFSFA) located in the Upper Colorado River Basin, United Sta

This is 1 meter resolution landcover map developed for the RMBL Spatial Data Platform. Source datasets include 2017 and 2019 4-band imagery from the National Aerial Imagery Program, and 2019 LiDAR data collected by Quantum Geospatial for the Colorado Hazard Mapping Program. The numeric codes for the

This is a 3m map of snow depth derived from repeat LiDAR data collection by the Airborne Snow Observatory. This dataset has been clipped and resampled to the standard 3m SDP grid, and is derived directly from: Painter, T. 2018. ASO L4 Lidar Snow Depth 3m UTM Grid, Version 1. Boulder, Colorado USA. N

This map represents the estimated on-road and off-road travel time in minutes from Crested Butte via the fastest travel means available (snowmobiles excluded). Estimates apply for winter (snow-on) conditions. This map was generated with the cost distance GRASS GIS module (r.cost) using estimated tra

This map represents the estimated on-road and off-road travel time in minutes from Crested Butte via the fastest travel means available (snowmobiles excluded). Estimates apply for summer (snow-off) conditions after all roads have been opened to vehicle traffic. This map was generated with the cost d

This is a styled basemap showing snow depth on April 7th 2019 derived from repeat LiDAR data collection by the Airborne Snow Observatory. This dataset is derived directly from: Painter, T. 2019. ASO L4 Lidar Snow Depth 3m UTM Grid, Version 1. Boulder, Colorado USA. NASA National Snow and Ice Data Ce
